Abstract

The joint NanoDTC-Impulse-Maxwell Innovation Seminar Series has a series of brilliant speakers who are at different stages in their Innovation and Entrepreneurship journey. Our next speaker Dr Alex Shard will be speaking to us about ‘Argon cluster ion analysis of functional organic materials: a case study of how measurement and standardisation turns innovation into impact’. Alex Shard obtained his PhD in surface modification and analysis from Durham University in 1992 and has been active in surface chemical analysis since then, working at the University of Nottingham and Daresbury Laboratory, and then as a lecturer at the Robert Gordon University and senior lecturer at the University of Sheffield. He joined NPL in 2006 and is now a Principal Research Scientist and Knowledge Leader for the Analytical Sciences Division. Alex has over 100 peer-reviewed publications and he regularly presents at national and international conferences. Alex is chair of the British Vacuum Council, and is on the organising committee of the UK Surface Analysis Forum and co-chair of the 21st International SIMS conference, which will be held in Krakow in 2017. Alex is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
